after that for the gas victims they should get proper treatment so they can spend the rest of their lives in good health. they are gas and water victim children were born with deformities and their future has to be kept in mind so that these kids can live a proper life and so that their parents do not take them as some sort of burden or to nothing. you're welcome. i love and. good afternoon c.h.r.y. this is only summer f.m. to la and i'm joined on the line by son jay vermont who was an activist in the bhopal campaign and also was a survivor of the terrible disaster in one nine hundred eighty four so sanjay can you tell us a bit about what happened to you on the night of december third one thousand nine hundred four well i was born in july before i was a few months already. so and well i don't and really don't know

why i asked myself so because i had no one with me and the better looking at my school. she was like they all died that i had and. i would be. like. i really know very few in my own eyes that you would like and i ran only. sunday was to. his sister was nine his elder brother i mean he was only thirteen and these were the only people left alive in a family of. my family old runaways i was told later two of them died in hospital. my mother and father were. in the bodies of three sisters by. the other two on the snow.

they lost their parents. and three sisters and two brothers calling one night. my dad and. my family members die because of this fact. and his sister when children's village. but it is a godsend because it was a thousand eight hundred people at but according to the people who were carrying out bodies from the g eight from the houses around seven thousand to ten thousand people had died in the next seventy two hours and. twenty five thousand people have died. i remember my but that all came up and organize it and. then automatically i myself got involved in the fight and i joined like other organizations i think.

now i realize the longer you guys actually. playing than in all know how contaminated then the factory how one going to drain the oil on the factories they're like security inside the factory might not paying attention bores them. while we did a study we just want to extend those chemical contamination build a factory and i'll die and see if there is a link because there by killing it is going to go for all going to school that's the site because they think god will make pesticides justifies it is using if you look at all the lead guy here mitt romney and luckily enough. very high end of the day. and want to dive a little bit to the phone mostly as i hear it how do you know in fact when event is

up around i did this photo get out and you can still see it in the structure of the thing and then close not surprising that the plant is very high among them ok. we have received very important documents in this case that i think established very clearly that union carbide knew in advance as early as nine hundred seventy three that this pollution problem that we are facing today they knew this was going to happen and they and they went ahead with this project despite that specific knowledge as early as one nine hundred seventy three union carbide engineers or warning the company that the plant presents an unusual challenge in that there's no nearby running body of water into which waste can be discharged so from the design stage waste disposal at the plant was was of major concern. a lot of waste streams from the plant emptied into the area of the plant known as the solar evaporation pond area. and this is where the waste in toxic sludge

were dumped basically and carly we're standing right on top of it and the other side as you can see there used to be a small leak which. also used as a dumping ground for they waste people depended on the water from the link so they drank it and it cost and pedantic. union carbide knew from the design stage that the bhopal plant could pollute groundwater they also knew that there was a there was a surrounding community that used that groundwater for its drinking water supply. so they believe that they can get rid of someone. by evil parading it and and then when they had like some kind of sludge so they took all dust luggage from the bones and they dumped here and there and you see this black lining. and the need the ground of this landfill they believe that this kind of lining if.

it can get. away from the. landing and the need to go on every day i would hear. we believe the solar evaporation ponds continues to be a source of the subsurface water pollution that's now reaching through the article for and spreading into the surrounding communities and can be detected as far away as three kilometers from the main plant campus so that evaporation water before very high was can only use the idea it was u.v. as the only industry and one of these isolated that isn't one. of the factories that is still being gone daman it did and. did water because they do not have any other choice. way will remain a source of pollution for this area until it is remedial and the party that can do

that is you know the december will mark the twenty fifth anniversary of the tragedy at a union carbide india ltd facility in bhopal and even today continues to evoke strong emotions globally and rightfully so we're saddened however that despite all that has been written about the tragedy in the past twenty five years so many misconceptions still exist about union carbide and it's wrong the government of india is the appropriate entity to address any i'm going to express by the people of bhopal. we are saddened by the fact that the site remains on remediated adding to the tragedy that has occurred the site today is in the hands of the state government of madhya pradesh the state government. and together with the central government they are trying to get the site cleaned up union carbide is now a wholly owned subsidiary. two thousand and one third the boards of all carbide approve the burger agreement create the world's

second largest chemical. does complicate things and doesn't because the law on contamination is very clear in india and in the us and which is the principal polluter pays principle is the idea under international law that the liability for pollution should always be traced back to the polluter the polluter should not be able to externalize the costs of pollution onto society at large or a third party it shouldn't be the government's responsibility to clean up at public expense after private polluters. so a no no no no no no that is one of the. people. drinking contaminated water you see this is just like. in the neighborhood and then we've got to walk out of this bomb test bed every foundered highly contaminated but they do not have any other choice

and they are drinking this water. it would like sometime two thousand and four it was sometime in the evening. when i eased back to my home there was a letter written by my brother that. i'm going to die in a few men so take it off yours and he was like he was laying on his back in this room so i had to phone one of my one of my brother's friends and they said. both of us took my brother to the hospital and finally he had survived that. before that he had run into a jungle where food he had tried to set him off fire. he didn't have any physical problems his sickness was that of paranoia and fear. if anyone came over the bench you would go and hide in the bathroom he used to say he could

a culture. this could. cultures of resistance on our team.

i believe that entails with time but involved it's getting worse. if we blame each other for everything no solution will come. that the government blames the company we blame the government part of the government suffers the company suffers and most importantly the people of bhopal suffer. another member actually who was the media person who asked me this question who do you actually according to you. before i answered this question he said your god they he said to me. like. they have been people from. so if you are going to help you then work with them before you. on that particular night i'm not particular night on the second and third december

some gases from the union carbide leaks and some of the people died to being an autopsy surgeon it was my moral duty to find out what the cause of death was. after analysis it was established that cyanide was present to get it worked along with nearly twenty nine components are to which it team were deadly. like in hiroshima and nagasaki it had an adverse effect on their genes so similarly this adverse effect of the gases causing genetic mutation in india. would like that we don't speak about bhopal because it's not a good image of all india in america they don't want to talk about because in spite of the fact that there is a wall of and fall the rest against mr wong and. i mr anderson has retired in a beautiful house in. new york and of course.

it was a bone of glacier we're looking at we're going to be inventive and one of the implications is put a nation which you know then more than thirty thousand people are affected and the people who are drinking the polluted water have known about the problems this can problems that is this is through the. industrial you know that. foreign investment you know. all of those are sick and that's the position that having to get specific governments are not in business to protect the population. that's what they say they are but it's usually a pretty low priority. don't take any worry that somebody stored. over the record country and stored it pretty often loses. a loss of the work through the population but the leaders were willing to take the risk where it was for the.

this want to respond in this stock to leave the government just pimping for chemicals and these are the same people who have so far. we strongly feel that on this occasion of the twenty seventh anniversary we will be able to the stronger the nexus and we will get justice. they have not gotten on by the other ones or by the. people to the point it's. not. really have. what is needed. but. i was hired to do

emerge an acquisition for you. to bring all of the computer applications on the same. because they are more concerned about bottom line profit than anything i just decided that i was making a profit for just the wrong. made the decision to purchase union carbide knowing that these liabilities were outstanding so when you purchase the assets of a company purchased those liabilities. we are just asking for our right to clean water union carbide is fully exploited the sort of international dimension of this problem it informs the american courts that new york law. because these events took place in india the same time this doesn't apply so in effect they're arguing that they're above them. appropriate behavior for.

of course international law has no enforcement laws of force for somebody. if the united states doesn't force them there's no political but they should take responsibility for their power. dime from the water no one is offering clean water they have no choice. dow chemical go to how it's going to how to how. agents of dow should be spanked. if you look submit to the jurisdiction of india then you'll have to submit to the american courts and the american courts have to do something about. this in two thousand and four the supreme court's directed the government to provide clean and safe water but the government to stage some central has failed to honor the supreme court order. then the problem is that by november two thousand

and nine the government would supply clean water but that's a promise was never fulfilled but some pipelines were laid in some areas but not in every area the water they're supplying these pipes is duty and not fit for drinking water mostly comes from kids and dad in my division position control board certified against any high concentrations of coal i do so knowing this water is what is being supplied to locals who have given their lives. on the. no company should be a license but it cannot break this country's laws. i budget if we win this fight outsiders will gain nothing gain will be for years

the people of. you know what we have asked for is the clean up cost union carbide should clean all the poisonous and harmful toxic chemicals that are stored inside the plant. the groundwater which is polluted in a radius of three kilometers around the plant should be cleaned and union carbide should be paid for about two. to. bring anderson to india bring them here dow chemical leave india leave india on top of that we have asked for compensation for the victims who are suffering. and it's our mission to fight for people who are weak people who cannot fight for themselves or even know how. union carbide should bear these expenses because in the coming ten to fifteen years people will keep getting affected due to the growing toward contamination and will

be more prone to cancers like diseases given audios madea's we are fighting for our society we are fighting for our country we are fighting for gas victims. it's only by virtue of the fact that this outfit if it indeed. able to exist. has come out this year a fresh known bailable warrant has been issued for foreign andersen. and if the government fails to wake up and help then we are committed to fight the next twenty seven years against the nexus between the company and the government the process could change dramatically if the indian government intervene the states have done something in the film and i made them not and they don't have the authority to summon the government what they have. said to be if they want this ruling. and if you're right that it was what it was that. they were all this it was in cold

blood they are so good they have submitted a letter all of this that's all over the local police were. i. think the many ideas from our research one thing is very clear the union carbide india factory is infected with poison it is a poison which will not lead to death just by touching it so i can understand why their money pradesh government is saying there is no poison. but it is also true that it's a kind of poison that is leaking into our environment that is the main thing i am sane is that the factory should be cleaned as soon as possible. god has given you this word with all the facilities but god has given me everything here why destroyed. felt come on friends join the march with the

victims and show that your passion has not cooled down. i. has not slowed down because we did not get justice and unless we get justice a passion will never cleaned out. every year millions of people are dying because of this undergoing the pursuit of profit. what can mean will fall a saying is that you cannot do it you are not allowed to do it because life is sacred and that cannot be violated and. i hope that this is my hour the twang day with the strength from the rest of the world who will get justice from dull company that i get. the twenty fifth anniversary is just to learn my before your father verse read the first two for their verse read will be as important for the final goal. not gore is to clean

the factory farm all those toxic effluents which still pull you the water that the people have to drink. the amazon i want the world to understand the crime of these companies they profit from the analysts products as they show on t.v. . the same products boys in our lives not only. we should never allow down to continue their poisonous business in any other city in the world soon that another book power will not be repeated. they were three gives us more spirit gives us more and go to it's meant people i'll know what i have been for and we get more support every year than the previous year if there is justice and this world would be safer for all of us to live in because it would set a precedent a parent company cannot set up a subsidiary somewhere in the world create a large scale environmental problem there and then when the time comes to fix

liability sell off its local subsidiary and then retreat to the united states or any other developed country and to basically say that nobody can sue them here and nobody can hold them accountable so that's the sort of context in which if our litigation were to be successful it would set important precedent. i am.
